Here's the discussion thread everybody.
Let's try to post daily if not once every 2 days. I want to keep events moving as much as everybody else. Remember, if we are in combat, if you don't in 48 hours after the enemies go, I reserve the right to act for your PC.
Again, no OOC remarks here or in gameplay. Definitely no tactical information to be shared that your character wouldn't know. Keep in combat talk reasonable in duration.
Battle Map: I'm going to link the battle map to the top of the Gameplay page. I will keep it as current as possible. Keeping it perma-linked there will make it easier to reference I think.
New PC information: Durnolf, you have a sister and a niece that lives in town. Your niece is coming of age as a woman. You can name them if you want or go with Danellia and Mathilda.
It is the party's understanding that the caravan is here to provide festivities for the completion of the Quest for the Everflame. The only thing the Vudrani know is that its some local tradition that celebrates the coming of winter.
If you haven't done so, please update your characters to level 2. If you have Hero Lab, please send me your updated PC file to my name @ yahoo.
Here is a link to the old thread. I'll deactivate it in a couple weeks once we've all transferred over.
That's it for now. Let's see who's ready to pay the Price for Immorality.

Liz, a heads up on your PC. You are at medium encumbrance, and that's not even including your artisan tools. Of course, without your tools, you are at -2 to all crafting skills. I have you at 64 lbs with what you are carrying. Light encumbrance is 33 lb. Keep this is mind if you plan on carrying all this gear.
Also you have 1 too many languages as well.
Never got my dots here. I will change my labguages and she keeps her tools and food on the caravan. I will adjust accordingly.
Hope we haven't lost some people. We were doign so well.

Me too. I'm just hoping the hobbits are making their rounds at the movie premiers (3:40 today for me!)
Liz, you are still encumbered quite a bit. Keep in mind that your weapons and armor alone are 26 lbs out of 33 lbs. I don't have a problem with it if you don't.
Aldous, let's see that second level sheet!
All set!
Had it all set on Google Drive, but now the profile is all updated.
I'm going to have to go naked it seems. :p
How long would it take to drop my backpack if I want to unburden myself before/in combat? I don't want to abandon most of my stuff but will need to lighten my load if I want to bouncea round.
It's typically a move action to drop/remove worn gear.
If you are feeling extra paranoid, tie your heavy stuff in a hobo-bundle and tote it over your shoulder on a stick.
Then it's a free action to drop it.
ah, didn't notice the email request. Will do.

To answer Liz's question, it is a move action, but you need a hand free Ms. Duel Wielder. Naked would have been fine in Kaer Maga, here . . . who knows.
Aldous, you too are encumbered. I have you at 30lbs in gear. Also, since you took a rank in Linguistics, you get an extra language to learn.
Garuneh is a bit encumbered too, but I believe that is just his coins
Re: languages, took Goblin at 1st lvl, Halfling at 2nd.
Common & Elf free, +4 for int 18.
Checking encumbrance now. May have to stash more gear on Ruckus or ask for a mule.
Will make sure to look into quick-release backpacks or a haversack. Will make do with medium encumbrance.
Also we should look into converting coins to gems.
All righty, moved stuff around.
For now, Durnolf & Ruckus have my food, water, & rope.
4 pounds for tanglefoot bag seems crazy but it's all good. Anyone want that?
Should be down to 23 lbs carried weight now. If b necessary, I'll haul the heavy stuff in my backpack and expect to drop it like Elizabeth.
That's odd.
I never knew the penalty applied on non-composite bows.
Weird.
Edit: Sheet updated.
Typo! Typo! I promised NOT to plunder
Haha. Best typo ever :D
"I would be lying if I didn't promise not to not defile or plunder."
I'll leave my money at the inn...? (locked away from Liz) (I always choose 'dropped to ground' for my mo-nay until the adventuring starts in earnest)
I have just enough to cover a night at the inn and a few meals.
Perhaps one of you would like to share a room?
I have a fair amount of money.
I have a bunch of spells! :)
They used to be money.
Aldous, you could always rent yourself out as a gigolo. Share a bed AND make money.
There's an idea.
Of course, they'd have to be hot.
And rich.
And young.
So, adventuring is the way to go I believe
Great Scott!
Ps: "because Poe wrote on both."
Any sign of Durnolf?
Say, Neb, what's our IC explanation for Tina's disappearance? Or is she 'expunged'? (suddenly thinking of...what's it called from Wheel of Time...balefire. Oh, those stupid books...)
The bird-people abducted Tina.
Went her own way.
Perhaps we could recruit a fighter type? Concerned townperson who wants to come along.
I was also wondering--what did we miss in the Godsmouth? Can we get the moviespoiler version of the rest of it? I don't think I'd go back to run the rest ever, so I don't mind a spoilerating.
Which reminds me, I can never click on a Rise of da Runelords or Kingmaker thread. People spoilerate away all the time!

Tina was so quiet most of the time, the rest of the party hardly realized she was gone until now. Such an impactful figure in decision making and storyline =vp .
She was encapsulated by the great blue bubble of doom. Legends speak of the Blue Bubble whenever the Old Gods known as D.M. is angered.
Or Balefire, what ever works for you.
Honestly, there wasn't much else in Godsmouth for you. You guys kept passing a set of double doors that go into a library. In the library you can find a key that opens the stone doors in the beginning. Then in the greatroom there was a secret door behind each statue, but each statue was trapped. In the secret rooms was a various number of minor challenges.
All in all, you didn't miss much. Maybe a little bit more treasure and a little bit more XP, but nothing of any note.
One thing I never got off were the creeping hands in the pile of corpses. Nobody got close enough so that I could spring them on you.
I have PM'ed Durnolf. I really hope he returns. I'll give him until after the holidays, then we can look at other options.
On something completely unrelated: Miss Chances. This came up on another game.
You guys roll it when you roll your to hit. The number which is concerned a miss is the Percentage of Miss Chance or lower. So a 20% miss chance is a 1 to 20 on a d100, 50% miss chance is 1 to 50 on a d100. Make sense?
Yes, thats how I usually play too. Low rolls on a percentage roll succeed - or make you "successfully miss" in this case.
Board meltdown!
will be here through the holidays. Merry Christams!
Merry Christmas!
"Merry Pancha Ganapati!
Merry Christmas. :)
Durnolf! Our numbers dwindle.
Very odd, we lost some when it seemed we were doing so well.
I'm still around.
Durnolf's player hasn't posted anywhere since early December.

OK, Durnolf's main posted last night, so at least he's alive. I sent him a PM but no response, yet. I do hope he returns.
If he doesn't return/respond, what do ya'll want to do? Look for a new "warrior" PC, go with 4 or bring in an NPC to fill the void.
Also, Gunder, you around? It's been awhile since we've seen yah.
New PC sound sok
Agreed, new pc if Durnolf poofs. I'd prefer Durnolf, though!
Yes, I'm still here.
And I'd also prefer Durnolf to return. But if thats not possible, we should recruit a new PC, rather than dragging an NPC along.

I'm going to go ahead and put out feelers to get you guys a front-liner. If Durnolf comes back, I can always close out the Recruitment. After the holidays, I'm hoping we can get into a quicker pace of posting. Lulls are the death-knells of PbP games.
Otherwise, feel free to talk amongst yourselves while in the tavern. I'll get you on the road by the end of the week, if not sooner depending on the outcome of my search.
That sounds good to me.

Ok, there is a post on the Recruitment page. Go ahead and look at the different applicants. Feel free to either post here or PM me with any insight on any of the PCs or recommendations of who you like. I already have some thoughts of those that have presently posted. But I would like to hear what you have to say since this is your game too.
If we don't hear back from Durnolf by the end of the week, I'll go ahead and make a decision for us. One way or another we'll get things going by the weeks end.
Happy New Year & Foundation Day, everybody!
The dreaded bubble will claim Durnolf!
Narendra looks good.
